This post is a reminder that the Newbie channel is intended solely for asking for help and receiving help from others. It is not an OOC chat channel. We already have a OOC channels specifically for out-of-character conversation.
OOC chatting is a community feature players gain access to through a few different chat channels in game by donating to support the game. If you are spending time here and enjoying Haven, please consider donating to help keep the game running.
Using the Newbie channel as a substitute OOC channel is not appropriate. It disrupts the purpose of the help channel and undermines the systems and intentions staff deliberately put in place for the game’s communication structure. Group OOC communication within the game is a feature tied to financially supporting the game.
If donating is not something you wish to do, or you are not currently in a financial position to donate, there are still many other ways to communicate OOCly with others, including tells, Discord, and similar alternatives.
Please help us keep the Newbie channel clear, functional, and welcoming for players who genuinely need assistance, rather than chatting, joking, providing play by plays, plot info, etc. Thank you.
